Upon hearing that Fan Sheng had arrived, Bai Qianmo showed little emotion.
"It's earlier than I expected; it seems they couldn't wait any longer."
Li Song said, "Boss, do you want to see him?"
Bai Qianmo scoffed, "Of course we have to meet them. Go and meet with them later. Their purpose in coming here is probably to use money to suppress this matter. We'll see how much sincerity they offer."
Li Song frowned and looked at Bai Qianmo with confusion: "Boss, you're not really planning to sell the script of 'Seven Deadly Sins,' are you? It's such a good script, it will definitely be worth far more than the price they offered when it's released."
Bai Qianmo's calm eyes revealed a shrewd calculation: "So, no matter how much they offer, just ask for ten times that amount."
Li Song's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he chuckled: "I understand, boss. Don't worry, I'll handle this matter perfectly."
Reception Room
A large crowd waited inside. Li Song pushed open the door and entered, a professional smile on his face.
"Oh, it's an honor to have you two grace us with your presence."
Upon seeing Li Song, Cao Jie's assistant showed a hint of confusion.
"Mr. Li? I heard that Tengyue has changed owners, right? Where is your new boss?"
Li Song raised an eyebrow and glanced at his assistant: "My boss is out on business, so this matter has been handed over to me. Assistant Liu, please have a seat."
Upon hearing that the owner of Tengyue was not present, Assistant Liu looked slightly disappointed.
"I really didn't expect that President Li wouldn't leave Tengyue. Actually, thinking about it, it's understandable. I heard that your boss is still a kid. It's true that a novice with no experience needs a senior person to keep things in check. However... Tengyue didn't do much when President Li was there. Now that the boss has changed, I'm afraid..."
Assistant Liu's words were full of arrogance and mockery.
In his eyes, Tengyue was a small company on the verge of bankruptcy, with fewer people than even one department of Fansheng. How dare such a company go head-to-head with Fansheng? It was simply overestimating its own strength.
Li Song still had a smile on his face: "So, why is Assistant Liu, such a busy person, not serving by your Director Cao's side, suddenly running to our Tengyue little shabby temple?"
Li Song sneered inwardly. How dare Cao Jie's dog come to their Tengyue Random Dogs? Does it really think it's a person just because it stands in front of its master?
Assistant Liu naturally understood Li Song's sarcasm, and his face immediately darkened.
"Mr. Li, let's get straight to the point. I came to Tengyue this time for the script of 'Seven Deadly Sins'. My boss, Mr. Cao, doesn't want today's incident to affect the filming schedule. There are five million in this card. As long as you delete that official Weibo post and get that pioneer to come forward and apologize, the money is yours."
Li Song glanced at the bank card on the coffee table.
Seeing that Li Song remained silent, Assistant Liu assumed that Li Song was interested and chuckled smugly.
"Mr. Li, to be honest, five million is an astronomical price for this drama. You've been in this industry for so long, you should know that screenwriters aren't worth much. Apart from a few big-name screenwriters, other mediocre screenwriters only get a few hundred thousand for a drama. If the drama becomes popular, they might get a bonus at most. Your company's screenwriter has no reputation at all, and with Tengyue's serious deficit, what investor would be foolish enough to invest in your drama?"
"Think about it carefully. The final result of 'Seven Deadly Sins' depends on the team and the funding. When we, Fansheng, produce this drama, it's a big production with a big director, and we've definitely hired the hottest stars in the industry. But what does Tengyue have? I heard your boss made a stupid mistake by hiring Jiang Hai? Haha, doesn't she know Jiang Hai's reputation in this industry? Which TV station would buy a show that Jiang Hai directed these days? So, five million is really a lot."
After listening to Assistant Liu's earnest persuasion, Li Song smiled and picked up the bank card.
Assistant Liu's eyes flashed, thinking that the matter was most likely to be settled.
But before he could be happy for more than three seconds, Li Song glanced at it and put it back in its original place.
"Assistant Liu, five million is indeed a considerable sum in my eyes. I may be interested, but my boss may not."
Assistant Liu narrowed his eyes silently, judging from the posture that they wanted to bargain?
Fortunately, Xiao Cao had the foresight to say before he came that as long as it didn't exceed ten million, he would try to resolve the matter today.
"Your boss must have some idea, right? Tell us about it?"
Li Song moved his fingers and stretched out his palm in front of Assistant Liu.
"Five? Your boss doesn't mean he wants to add another five million, does he? That's really greedy. Ten million is enough to buy half of Tengyue's shares. How about we compromise and seven million?"
Li Song curled his lips in disdain: "It's fifty million!"
idiot!
Assistant Liu's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with astonishment, and he asked, "How much did you say?"
Li Song rested his arm lightly on the sofa armrest and looked at Assistant Liu with an expression that said, "Are you an idiot?"
"Assistant Liu is not very old, is his hearing failing?"
Assistant Liu jumped to his feet, his face flushed with anger: "Fifty million? Is your boss a bandit? He might as well just rob a bank!"
"Too much? Looks like we can't reach an agreement. Ha, you plagiarized our company's script and have the audacity to offer five million to buy it out. I'm sorry, but my boss doesn't need that kind of money. He really doesn't care. You can turn left and get lost."
"You...you Tengyue, you're really courting death! If you dare to offend Fansheng, you'll just have to wait to go bankrupt! Let's go!"
